Summary:
The Keys school district in Oklahoma operates two schools - Keys Elementary School and Keys High School. Both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings in recent years, suggesting academic performance challenges. Keys Elementary has dropped from 42nd out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools to 317th out of 614, while Keys High has fallen from 178th out of 439 high schools to 256th out of 463.
The data reveals that both Keys schools have very low proficiency rates on state assessments, with Keys Elementary scoring well below the Oklahoma average in English, Math, and Science, and Keys High having an extremely low 4% Math proficiency rate. Both schools also have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19%. Despite small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 16.5 and 14.7, the schools struggle to provide quality education, as evidenced by their declining rankings and test scores.
Socioeconomic challenges may be a contributing factor, as over 70% of students at both schools receive free or reduced-price lunch. The district's spending per student, around $9,500, is also relatively low. Addressing the academic and resource challenges facing the Keys schools will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in this district.
